The summer 2018 anime series Muhyo & Roji’s Bureau of Supernatural Investigation was a surprise when it was announced and it was a surprise when it began in August 2018, weeks after the usual season start. With a second season announced during the summer of 2019, Funimation has now announced their pickup of it for the summer 2020 season. The distributor intends to simulcast and dub the show but they’re also going to stream the first season in its original Japanese and will produce a dub for it as well.

With the first season, Nobuhiro Kondo directed it based on the series composition and scripts by Yasuyuki Suzuki. Kouichiro Kawano is handling the character designs with Studio DEEN producing the animation for it.

Viz Media licensed and released the first manga series in North America.

Plot Concept: Are you a victim of unwanted spirit possession? Is there a ghost you need sent up and away…or down to burn for all eternity? If the answer is yes, then you need Muhyo and Roji, experts in magic law. Serving justice to evil spirits is their specialty.
